ency Viscount Willingdon, the ches
Governor-General of Canada. Unique
among mountain ehurches and unique,
indeed, among the churches of Cana»
da, is the Church of St. Mary and St,
George. The building, with its fure
nishings, was the gift of a lady from
Pngland who visited Jasper one sum-
mer and who was so much impressed
by the beauty of the surroundings that
she resolved that she should erect her
loving memorial to the son who was
killed in the war. Through solicitors
she made the arrangements, her name
never appeared; no.one in Jasper
knows who she is. -The son whose
testament, taken out of his pocket
when! his body was carried in from
No Man’s Land, is written under the
corner stone, is to Jasper an Unknown
Soldier.
Built of stone and stucco, with a
tiled roof, raftered within, the build-
ing stands in beauty and simplicity,
a true memorial. The oak panelling
to the right and left of the altar was
the gift of the Misses Shawcross of
Engiand, in memory of their mother;
the processional cross, a piece of
beautiful craftsmanship in hand-
beaten copper, the work of Omar
Ramsden of London, England, was
presented by Mrs. E. Holland of Wor-
cester, England; the font from the
old church was the gift of the
Women’s Auxiliary; and the ewer was
given by Mr. and Mrs. W. Brydon,
members of the congregation, in mem-
ory of their son., The bell which sum-
mons the people to worship was the
gift of Lord Willingdon. Graven on
it are the words: “O give unto the
Lord the honour due unto His name.”
It is a church of gifts. The Bible and
the prayer bok, too, are gifts and
make contact with older history. ‘For
his kind and tnemitting labors dur-
ing the cholera epidemic of 1884-49”
the parishioners of Offchurch present-
ed the books to their rector, Rev.
James Riddell. They were given to
the Archbishop’s Western Canada
Fund and in the end they found their
way to Jasper.

To Eskimo Natives
Court Flies 1300 Miles To Hear Mur-
der Charge From Rim of Arctic
Three years ago one Ahigiak, a na-
tive of King William Island in Cana-
da’s extreme North, shot and killed
one Aniruak, a fellow-Eskimo. Ahigi-
ak accused Aniruak of stealing the;
affections of his wife.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
heard of the affair and laid charges
against Ahigiak. They did not arrest
him because he could not escape, and
there was no jail in which to confine
him, so he lived peacefully with his
wife in the family igloo until the
spring of the present year when pol-
ice took the Eskimo 800 miles to the
settlement of Coppermine.
Presently to Coppermine there tra-
velled by airplane over 1300 miles of
the Arctic’s fringe Magistrate J.
Dougias, who has judicial authority
over the Northwest Territories, and
lawyers for the Crown and defence.
Ahigiak went on trial with all due
ceremony; evidence was taken
through an interpreter; he was cqn-
victed of manslaughter by a jury of
six prospectors and traders and was
sentenced to five years’ imprisonment.
Curious Eskimos followed proceed-
ings.with interest, and seemed at a
loss to account for the concern of
white officials with a tribal killing
three years old.

Canadian “Quints”
Wards of the State
TORONTO-—Canada’s most famous
persons—the five children born May
28th to Mr. and Mrs. Ovila Dionne of
Northern Qntario—now are under of-
ficial protection of the province of On-
ario. A court order appointing a
board of five guardians was sought
and obtained by the government as
the most effective means of circum-
venting the efforts of Chicago pro-
moters who wanted to exhibit them
at the World’s Fair in that city and
who held a contract signed by the
father of the quintuplets.
Heading the board of guardians is
Dr. A. R. Dafoe, the country doctor
whose ‘fame now is _ world-wide
through the skill and success with
which he has cared for his celebrated
patients, and Oliver Dionne, the
babies’ grandfather, represents the
family.
As the babies—called “world fig-
urea” in the judgment of a Chicago
court—approached the end of their
third month and a joint weight of
25 pounds, erection was started of 4
modern brick dwelling where every
facility will be provided for their
care, It is to be called ‘The Dafoe
Hospital for the Dionne Quintuplets,”
and is being built with funds provided
by the Canadian Red Cross, the On-
tario Government and private sources.
Yvonne and Annette continue heavi-
est of the infants, and by mid-Augusv
were close to six pounds each. Cecile
was nearing five pounds and Emilie
had passed four. Marie, smallest of
the five, had to receive radium treat-
ment for a tumor on her left hip, but
was overcoming the handicap and ap-
proaching four pounds.

“Monsieur le Bebe” &

The indefatigable Maurice Cheval-
ier, whose light touch and gay humor
is definitely infectious, has with him
in “A Bedtime Story” (a Paramount
comedy-drama which shows at the
Elite this week) a new leading sup-
porter.
This young and handsome player is
practically a guarantee of feminine
approval of the picture. His name is
Baby Leroy. Chevalier attractively
calls him “Monsieur le Bebe,’ and
without the slightest histrionic effort
one-year-old “‘Monsieur le Bebe” be-
comes the screen’s most appealing in-
fant. One can almost hear the echoes
of the murmuring of adoration from
the feminine contingent of the audi-
ence, and whether the men admit it or
not, they will get a great kick out
of baby.
Maurice is still the gay and debon-
air man-about-town in Paris, this
time wealthy and with several at-
tractive girls ‘“‘on the string.’’ Arriv-
ing in Paris, with song and laughter,
stopping on the way home to greet
his ‘friends’ and make dates, the
chauffeur finds a foundling baby in the
car among the luggage. Maurice for-
gets his dates, and laughable and en-
tertaining sequences follow as he and

The talking book, one of ‘the latest
sensations in the world of the blind is
being demonstrated at the Exhibit of
the Canadian National Institute for
the Blind in the Electrical and Engin-
eering Building at the Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition, Toronto. This year,
for the first time, all the activities in
which blind persons are engaged are
being carried out on the premises, and
every phase of the Institute’s Canada-
wide programme is included.
The National Library of the Insti-
tute which contains over 17,500 vol-
umes is conducting a booth where
Braille books are on view, and a
Braille typewriter operated. The cur-
rent issue of the monthly Braille mag-
azine “The Courier” sent out by the
National Library to all parts of Cana-
is being produced, showing the
process of Braille printing, followed
by the stitching of leaves together.
Thirty-one blind persons are pre-
demonstrating home handi-
crafts, another turning out attractive
dresses and aprons on one of the
power driven machines used in the
garment factories of the Institute lo-
cated in Toronto and Winnipeg.
Rubber door mats made from old
automobile tires are being manufac-
tured in the booth representing the
Western Division of the Institute
(British Columbia and Alberta) and
netting is one of the occupations
found in the booth of the Newfound-
land Division. In between these two
extremities comes the Central West-
ern Division (Saskatchewan and
Manitoba) where a blind man is can-
ing chairs, next a blind girl from the
Quebec Division typing letters on a
standard typewriter taking her dicta-
tion from the dictaphone, and a blind
man in the Maritime Division booth
(New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
Prince Edward Island) demonstrating
the manufacture of willow signal
cones used by the Dominion Meteoro-
logical Départment for weather sig-
nalling on the sea coast.
The Industrial Placement Depart-
‘|}Mment arranged for a blind man em-
ployed in industry by a well-known
sporting goods company to carry on
with his regular job of stringing ten-
nis racquets, another to fit spokes
in joy cycle wheels, while a blind em-
ployee in.one of the Motor Car Com-
panies is demonstrating his job of
stuffing cushions for automobiles and
assembling control handles for car
windows.
Games used by the blind such as
Braille playing cards, checkers, etc.,
are on display as well as Braille
watches and other appliances.
Institute factory work including
the process of manufacturing Blind-
craft brooms is fully demonstrated
with one blind man sorting broom
corn, another winding brooms and a
third sewing and clipping them. Wick-
er furniture is being made and ser-
viceable baskets take shape while they
are being watched.
Members of the Toronto Women’s
Auxiliary to the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind are conducting
a special branch of their Blind Craft
Shop and have also an Information
Booth.
Photo-ElectricCell Traps
Robber in Canadian Mine
VANCOUVER—The photo-electric
cell, one of the most amazing inveu-
tions of science, saved from robbery
the Pioneer gold mine and gave an
amazing demonstration of its useful-
ness in the protection of treasure.
A burglar had cut his way througn
the metal walls of the small room in
the Pioneer mine where the molten
gold is poured into bricks for shlp-
ment to the mint at Ottawa. As the
robber entered the room his shadow
fell across the photo-electric cell with
which the room is equipped, and in-
stantly—without warning the mar-
auder—a dozen alarm bells rang in
the community.
Dr. Howard James, superintendent
of the mine, heard the bells, rushed
to the premises, found the robber
seeking the gold bullion with a flash-
\light. They fought in the darkness,
and just as help arrived the robber
broke away and escaped —but with-
his valet try to quiet its crying, put
it to bed. Helen Twelvetrees, a new
leading player for Chevalier, responds
to a call for a nurse on a long chance,
and on her pleading, Maurice engages
her. Complications follow when
Maurice arrives at the chateau of his
fiancee, and there is danger of los-
ing the baby. The skies clear rapidly,
and the three are left together.
The music is tuneful, and Maurice
renders the lyrics in his accustomed
appealing style. Lightly, romantically,
amusingly entertaining,

Mining engineers say the photo-
electric cell is the perfect guardian of
treasure. A shadow; a breath, the
drop of a hair, the movement of a lit-
tle finger in the room equipped with
it, set up radio vibrations which
throw the switch and sound the burg-
far alarms.
Having spent a couple of weeks vis-
iting friends in town, Mrs. Geo. Petrie,
who formerly resided here, left on
Friday afternoon to return home to
Edmonton. ,

Twenty-two years ago in the Sum-
mer: of 1912, I followed a portérhouse
steak from the local market back to
the cattle ranch. I wanted to find out,
for one of the big magazines, why we
were paying 32 cents a pound for the
same cut that a few years before had
sold for fifteen cents. I found out. I
went to the Chicago stockyards and
talked with the packers and com-
mission men. Then I went up into
North Dakota to interview an old
rancher who had systematically kept
track of his costs and what he had
got for each steer he had sold for
thirty years. And I predicted then
that we would never again buy porter-
house as cheap as 32 cents. ,

undertaken to buy all the silver offer-

My prediction of 1931 was based
upon the realization that the price
of silver was out ofall proportion
to the prices of everything else. For
forty years the average price of silver
was above sixty cents an ounce. I had
no expectation in 1931 that our Gov-
ernment would take the lead in re-

tus, but rather believed that there
would be some international agree-
ment to do so.
Now silver is back where it was,
until a little more than a hundred
years ago, from the beginning of hu-
man commerce— a monetary metal
second only to gold the world over.
Indeed, silver was the principal stand-
ard of money value up to about the
time of the Revolution. ‘What makes
it important to remonetize it is that
it is the basis of the money of about
half the world’s population, which has
been out of line with the rest of the
world’s money for the past seven
years, interfering seriously with
world trade.

His revealed Word, which is the Bible,
otherwise called Holy Scriptures. Je-
hovah God long ago/ caused faithful
men to write the Bible at His dicta-
tion, and this divine record is made
for the purpose of. giving man neéded
information. The Bible is truth, and
for centuries has successfully resisted
all efforts to discredit it.
All the human race are the off-
spring of one man, whose name was
Adam and who was created by Je-
hovah God a perfect man. That man
disobeyed Jehovah and was sentenced
‘to death, after which all of his chil-
dren were born; and for that reason
all the human race by inheritance are
sinners. The Scriptures truly declare
that Jehovah God is love, which
means that He is unselfish and that
He does good unto all creatures with-
out any gain to himself... Every act
of Jehovah is prompted by love or un-
selfishness; hence He is wholly devoted
to righteousness. It is His will that
His creatures be wholly devoted to
‘righteousness. He has provided the
means for all men to gain a know-
ledge of the truth in order that they
may learn the way of righteousness
and live for ever in happiness. We
have now come to the time when men
are given greater opportunities than
ever before to learn the ways of
righteousness and life.
Jehovah God is the giver of life;
hence it is properly said of Him He is
the fountain of life. His beloved Son
is Christ Jesus, whose position in the
universe is next to that of Jehovah.
The purpose of Jehovah is to give
life to obedient men by and through
the ministration of Christ Jesus when
such men are fully obedient to Him.
For this reason Jesus said of Jehovah
and for the benefit of men: “This is
life eternal, that they might know
thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John
17:3) No man can get everlasting life
without knowing Jehovah and obeying
Him.
A meek person is a teachable per-
son, that is to say, a person who is
willing to be taught. Jehovah's pro-
mise to man is that He will teach the
meek in the way that he should go;
hence if a man seeks knowledge, earn-
estly desiring the same, God will re-
ward his efforts. Jehovah has now
brought to pass conditions .in the
world that make it possible for man
to understand His name and His pur-
pose, and for this reason He has sup-
plied the means for understanding.
Jehovah commands that all men
shall love Him with a pure heart and
must be obedient to His command-
ments in order to prove their love for
Him. Such is not a selfish command,
but is entirely unselfish and for the

and commandments of Jehovah are
for man’s good;- and the more fully
we understand them and obey them,
the more we love Jehovah. That which
is of greatést importance to man is
to gain a knowledge of Jehovah as set
forth in the Bible. “The law of the
Lord is perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple.’’—Psalm 19:
,
Since God created the first man per-
fect, and all men are the offspring of
that first man, why is there so much
sickness, distress and sorrow . and
death amongst the human race? Is
Jehovah responsible for all this sor-
row and suffering amongst men, in-
cluding death? Jehovah is not respon-
sible at all therefor. The Bible answer
to the question as to why these dis-
agreeable things have come to pass
will be answered in another speech
called ‘‘Rebellion.”
ROSA RUGOSA AND ITS HYBRIDS
Rosa Rugosa is a rapid, thrifty
grower and is most decidedly a shrub
for beautifying the grounds of west-
ern homes. It is particularly useful
in situations where ordinary roses
might be killed by. severe win-
ters. In fact, it has proved itself
quite winter hardy and can be trusted
to look after itself more than can
most roses. It is also very resistant
to most of the rose diseases.
If the bush becomes too large and
scrubby it can bé cut back ruthlessly
close to the ground and will respond
with clean new growth.
The foliage is a shiny dark green
and is held crisply erect. In the typi-
cal form, the flowers are dark
magenta, single, and very large, often
reaching four or five inches in di-
ameter. The flowers are borne prac-
tically throughout the summer and are
succeeded by brilliant fruits which
gleam like enamelled beads amongst
the dark foliage. After the ffirst fall
frost, the leaves, which stay for a
comparatively long time on the bush,
also turn color and give added beauty

EARLY TOPPING OF TURNIPS
The practice of “topping” turnips
some weeks before the date of pull-
ing, in order to use. the leaves while
still green in the, feeding of livestock,
has been common in certain parts of
the Dominion, and the question wheth-
er it is an economical operation or not
has been settled by practical demon-
strations by the Dominion Department
of Agriculture. The data obtained
showed that turnips from the non-
topped crops had the higher food
value.
satisfactory avidence of the marked
growth of the untopped crop during
the latter weeks of the season,
leaves during this period continuing
to function as lungs and stomach, re-
sulting in a heavier yield. The prac-
tice of topping the crop three. weeks
or a month prior to the date of pull-
ing has been shown to result in a
lower yield per acre of nutrients, and
is therefore non-economic.
GREEN TOMATO PICKLE
To make tomato pickle take 4
quarts of green tomatoes, 4 small on-
ions, and 4 green peppers. Slice the
tomatoes and onions, sprinkle with %
cup of salt and leave overnight in a
crock. The next morning drain off
the brine. Put in a preserving kettle
one quart of vinegar, one level tea-
spoon each of black pepper, mustard
seed, celery seed, cloves, allspice and
cinnamon, and three-quarter cup of
sugar. Bring to a boil and add the
prepared tomatoes, onions and pepper;
cook slowly for thirty.minutes, fill the
jars and seal them.

THE HORSE PRICE oyOLE
When the purchasing power of any
kind of livestock is calculated for a
long series of years, it is found that
there are fairly definite requrring
cycles of purchasing power th «a
reasonable degree of periodicity, that
is, in length of timing from peak to
peak or trough to trough jof the
waves. According to Prof B.C.
Hope of the University of tche-
wan, the decline in horse pricep; con-
trary to general opinion, was not due
to the increase in the use of tractors,
but rather to the relatively high price
for horses prevailing from 1910 to
1915. The tractor has not eliminatea
the price cycle of horses, it has only
modified it. The recent low period of
the horse cycle has been rather long-
er than usual because the country was
becoming adjusted to a permanently
smaller number of horses. The horse
cycle has definitely turned. Good
work horses are again becoming
scarce and it will be some years be-
fore breeders can keep up with the
demand. Immediately a little more
money flows into the hands gf farm-
ers, a sharp rise is to be expected in
horse prices. If the general com-
modity price level should continue to
rise, horse prices will rise faster. The
purchasing power of. horses. should
continue to rise until about the year
1937. The return of tractors to more
general use for field work will not
change this situation.
PRAIRIE HARVESTERS
For many years priot to 1930, it has
been the custom of the Prairie Pro-
vinces to “import” from 25,000. to
50,000 men for the harvest season.
These came largely from: Eastern
Canada, but British Columbia contri-
buted several thousand annually and
on occasion men came from the
British Isles and the United States.
Besides the objective of supplying
harvest help there was that of col-
onization and land settlement in the
movement. There has been no assist-
ed movement to the Prairie Provinces
since 1929. Some people have assum-
ed that the use of combines is entirely
responsible for this change, but,
while it must be admitted that they
have caused a reduction in the de-
mand, it is probable that the more
important reason is an increase im
the supply of labour available locally.
METHODS OF HOME CANNING
One of the principal methods of
home canning is the one-perjod cold-
pack. It is so called because; the un-
‘cooked or partly cooked food is pack-
ed into a jar and covered with some
liquid, such as syrup or water, and
both jar and its contents are heated:
by which all new varieties are meas-
ured as they bid for a place on the
western wheat fields.

cold-pack is a very simple process
and completely sterilizes, inasmuch as
the product is placed in sterilized jar»
which are closed during. the cooking
process. In this way the organisms
in the pack are killed and access by
any bacteria from the air and other

THE PRESENT STATUS
OF MARQUIS WHEAT
Marquis wheat is still the standard
Introduced a-
markably short time usurped first
place among the spring ™* varieties
grown both in Canada and the North-
western States. While the original
introductidn was not quite as uniform
in type as one might wish, the pre-
vailing type which characterized the
variety was essentially similar to the
genuine Marquis we have today.
Unfortunately some ten years ago
the Marquis of certain growers be-
came rather badly contaminated with
certain old types commonly found in
the late-maturing Red Fife variety,
with the result that the variety lost
caste in some quarters and was
thought to be degenerating. Fortun-
ately the Canadian Seed Growers’ As-
sociation with governmental aid, came
to realize what was happening and
very soon made available new stocks
possessing a high degree of purity.
These are being propagated rapidly
and as a result this highly prized
variety will soon regain the high es-
teem to which it is entitled.
In growing tests, made during the
last three years, of approximately
12,000 samples of wheat collected
from farmers’ wagons at western ele-
vators,’/it Was found that many; farm-
ers were still growing this 6ld jmix-
ture of late Fife types and the earlier
maturing Marquis. Others, it was
learned, had dropped this wheat
which they believed to be Marquis
and had adopted such varieties as
Garnet and Reward, but they would
not likely have made the change had
they had the genuine article.

DIABETES
The part played by heredity and ov-
erweight in the occurrence of diabetes
has been recognized for many years.
In more recent years, through the
combined use of insulin, diet and ex-
ercise, the life of the diabetic has
been raised to a normal level. With
this wonderful advance in treatment
has come the pressing necessity ot
discovering diabetes early in order
that cases may be placed under pco-
per treatment before complications
develop.
Most of our readers are familiar
with the importance of discovering
tuberculosis early, and how unsuspect-
ed cases are looked for in the families

The increased prevalence of diabetes
in women over forty, as compared
with men of the same age, may have
some relationship to the introduction
of labour-saving devices into the
home.
In so far as the prevention of dia-
betes is concerned, those with a dia-
betic history should not marry into
,a& family with the same history. The
children of such a union are seriously
handicapped as regards diabetes. Ov-
erweight should be avoided at and ar-
ter middle life by all. Those who have
a family history of diabetes should a-
void an increase in their girth, and
they should be examined periodically
by their physician to allow for early

Western Examiner’ S$

ing Plan in Western Canada has just
concluded its operations for the sum-
mer season. This plan, which started
in a very modest way with one Line
Elevator.Company working in co-op-
eration chiefly with the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture, the entire
work now being co-ordinated by the
National Advisory Committee on Ag-
ricultural Services.
This plan, as has frequently been
explained, involves the selecting of
samples of wheat from farmers’ wag-
ons at country elevators and_ the
growing of said samples at Experi-
mental stations, Universities and at
selected points througout the country.
‘As maturity approaches, these plots
are carefully examined by experts
who determine the purity as to vari-
ety of the said samples and classify
; the material under test into three
; groups on the basis of ita suitability
for seeding purposes. These groups
are designated “A” “B” “C”’—
:“A" representing that material which
is practically pure as to variety, and
so suitable for seeding purposes; “B”
that which is reasonably pure only,

During the past month there have
been checked up in the above manner
some 15,000 samples of wheat secured
from farmers at 660 points in the
West. This work was done at 5u
central points termed “District Plots.”
The classification of these plots,
each of which actually represents a
field of wheat, indicates that 23 per
cent were entitled to be included in
the ‘‘A’’ class, while 36 per cent be-
ing reasonably good were classed as
“B", and 41 per cent. were classed
as “C”.
From the above it would seem fair
ewes $1) to conclude that insofar as concerns
the 660 districts surveyed, more than
41 per cent. of the farmers are not u»-
ing seed of as desirable a type as they
might. An interesting feature of this
investigation is that practically every
one of the elevator districts from
which these samples were secured has
at least some farmers who are grow-
ing excellent stock but that this
knowledge unfortunately is not very
widely known—indeed in many cases
the farmer himself growing ‘‘A’’ ma-
terial was unaware of its good qual-
ity.
Another interesting discovery has
been that a very large percentage of
the “A” lots have traced back direct-
ly to Registered seed. Some of these
lots it was found, had been obtained
as Registered seed several years ago
but by reason of the inherent purity
of this class of seed had retained a
high degree of purity throughout the
years. This incidenfally is one of the
best arguments that might be pre-
sented in favor of the use of seed
of high pedigree. ”
One of the worthwhile developments
of this undertaking is going to be that
numerous districts will be developed
in which practically all farmers will
be growing the same variety thereby
providing sources of seed from which
large quantities of relatively pure ma-
terial may be drawn when required
for relief or other purposes.
The Crop Testing Plan” is the re-
sult of the vision of Mr. A. L. Searle,
President of the Searle Grain Com-
pany, who, in 1929, considerea that
those who handled the farmers’ pro-
ducts could do much to assist in the
improvement of the quality of such
products, hence in the enhancement
of the income of the farmer. Con-

testing Plan’ which this year has‘
beén carried out by. the British Ameri-
ca. National, Northern, Midland and
Pacific and the Searle Elevator Com-
panies, together with ‘the Kind’ help
and assistance of officials from the
| Dominion’ Beed, Branch, the Experi-
mental Farms, Universities, Provin- |.
cial Department of Agriculture, and
the Canadian Seed Growers’ Associa-
tion, all of whom have made valuable
contributions to the work by analyz-
ing accurately the many thousands of
samples ‘growing in the plots.
During. ‘the ‘course of the Regina
Grain Conference last year the ‘“‘Crop
Testing Plan’ was viewed in opera-
tion at Rouleau with much enthusi-
astic approval by many distinguished
agriculturists, ‘among them Sir John
Russell, Director of the Experimental
Station; Rothampstead, England) and
Sir Albert Humphries, who repfresent-
ed the British Millers’ Association.
Sir Albert Humphries stated at the
meeting that “the knowledge that
such a method of crop improvement
as ‘the’ “Crop Testing Plan” was m
operation in Western Canada would
give added confidence to the British
Millers in their belief that the quality
of Canadian wheat would be not on-
ly maintained but no doubt increased
in the future.”
The National Committee on Agri-
culture services, after having studied
the “Crop Testing Plan’, and having
observed the results attained, have |
thought so highly of it that they have
officially sponsored the plan and have
given it every encouragement and as-
sistance, which same encouragement
and assistance, they have officially |
stated, they are ready to give to any
and all who are prepared to devote
time and energy in assisting towards:
the worthwhile object of the improve-
ment of the quality of the agricultural
products of Canada. \

While a conclusive estimate of the
1934 wheat crop will not be possible |
for some time yet, there is sufficient
information in the hands of the de-
partment to establish fairly definitely
that the average wheat yield over fhe)
seeded area of the province will be
considerably below the average for
the past ten years, namely, 17 bushels
per acre.
The estimate of the area seeded to
wheat in Alberta this year is placed
by the Dominion Bureau of Siatistics
at 7,501,000 acres, compared with
7,898,000 acres in 1933, and 8,201,000
acres in 1932.
A number of factors combined dur-
ing the season to reduce what gave
early promise of being a large crop
In southern, south-eastern and east-
pers were strong deteriorating fac-
tors. In the southern districts, how-
ever, on the whole, a fairly large vol-
ume of wheat has been produced. The
best crops are being found in the
areas along the international border,
from Cardston to Lethbridge and
through to Medicine Hat, south of the
C.P.R. Crow line. Some surprisingly
heavy individual yields are being re-
ported from this territory. Along the
western side of the province north w
Calgary there are also some very good
crops. The total volume of wheat on
the Lethbridge division of the C.P.R.
which extends from Dunmore on the
east to Crow’s Nest on the west and
north of Okotoks, will be fairly sub-
stantial and of generally high quality.
In the south-eastern district, east of
Drumheller, north of the South Sask-
atchewan river and south from Stett-
ler and Coronation, crops generally
have again been largely a failure and
the total yield of all grains will be
% | Very low.
In the central area of the province,
from Ponoka south to Olds, and from
the mountains east to the Saskatche-
wan boundary, an unusually dry seas-
on has been experienced. Crops of all
kinds have failed to fill to the extent
first anticipated and the total yield
of wheat and other grains will be be-
low normal! in this territory, which is
usually productive of good crops.
There is also a shortage of feed in
many localities in this area.
In the north central area which
centres upon Edmonton, in which
heavy yields of all grains have been
anticipated, frost, registered on the
night of August 22, did damage to
uncut and unripe crops. The area
affected was from Athabasca on the
north to below Red Deer on the south
and from some miles west of the

tato fields and garden stuff were con-

spect that the crop will be one of the
best ever taken off in that country.

Dear Sir:
The need of fodder for live stocn
| in southern municipalities is so eae |
that the needs can be met only with
the use of large quantities of straw.
I am directed by my Minister, Hon.
Mr. Taggart, to make a special ap-
peal to all municipalities where there
is a reasonably good crop, to pass
a bylaw prohibiting the burning of
straw until tne needs of southern
municipalities have been met.
We would like to be able to have |
the southern municipalities organize
parties to bale your straw from the
threshing machines and get it loaded
on cars while it is still dry before any
danger of damage occurs. Where
there is enough for local needs and a
surplus as well, we would hope that
the farmers who do not need this
straw would allow southern munici-
palities to come in and bale it witu-
out being charged for the straw in the
stack. The expense of another year
of relief for so large an area will be
tremendous and great hardship can
only be avoided by the generous co-
operation of those who are able to be
of some assistance to fellow farmers
who have had so many years of grief
and disappoimtment.
I am confident that we can count
on your co-operation in this respect
and will be obliged indeed if you will
write me to that effect, or better send
me a night lettergram collect in order
that no time may be lost in getting
this movement under way. Thanking
you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
F. H. AULD,
Deputy Minister
‘that by autumn there will be a general
reaction.
It is now becoming clear to every-
body that optimism, like pariotism,
is not enough. Faith may move
mountains, but it does not operate in
accordance with the known principle
of causation. Dynamite, in the hands
of humans, is probably the more ef-
fective force of the two.
That is, apparently, Presiden
Roosevelt’s view, for he is trying to
blow his way through the mountains
of depression with high-financial ex-
plosives, and running some risk of
blowing himself up as well.
But the unpleasant truth emerges
that the depression still remains, that
it does not yield before any of the
measures our conjoined experience
and ingenuity can devise; cheap mon-
ey, tariffs and quotas, depreciation of
currency, appreciation of price levels
-all are reemingly useless in the pre-
sent emergency, and it is impossible
in the face of such evidence of fail-
ure and futility to escape the ques-
tion: IS DOUGLAS RIGHT?

Travelling Clinics
Work of travelling clinics is to be
resumed in this province, after a lapse
of two years, announces Hon. Geo.
Hoadley, minister of health. Under
the direction of the department of
health, the work is being organized
for a period of two months. The
clinic will serve various remote dis-
tricts, in some of which the only
health assistance is that provided by
a district nurse. The clinic will deal
with many ordinary cases that develop
during the year, including tonsil
troubles, adenoids and minor surgery.

He did not answer immediately.

“It is useless to argue ‘with you.

Barry let himself in quietly. Anne
was not thére.
He turned toward the door blindly.
There was the slight sound of its
opening. Anne stood there staring at
him.
“Oh—Barry!” She said it breath-
lessly. “You startled me.”
His eyes swept over her swiftly,
suspiciously, and dropped to the slim
perfection of her slippers. On the side
of one of them, marring its delicate
sheen, was a long earth stain.

“Within the last half hour I have

She felt suddenly sick and tired.
Barry’s mother must have seen her
and carried the story to him in bitter
triumph. Who else hated her enough
to do that? She wanted to tell him
the whole hateful story, but she must
not.
“Somebody must have been willing
to carry tales about me to have hur-

went on bitterly. “And whether I was
there or not, I won't talk about it! I

sulky about it. Some deviltry, or he
missed his guess.
Cleo received. him in the Chinese
room.
“T’m thinking of getting a new car,
Kennedy. Do you know anything a-
bout racing cars?’
“A little.” Kennedy’s eyes narrowed
slightly. He hesitated, and the de-
sire to show that he had not always
been at an employee’s beck and call
was too much for him. “I know their
points pretty well,” he added careless-
ly. “I’ve driven my own now and
therr.””
“Really?” Cleo smiled encourag-
ingly. That was before you —er—
gave up the Forty-Ninth Street
house, wasn’t it?”
All the lines of Kennedy's face
sharpened.
“About that time,” he said briefly.
“So you've been looking up my re-
cord?”
“It wasn’t necessary,
You’re quite well known.”
He stared back at her suspicious
and half, truculent. ‘“Well,, you know,
I didn’t try to get the job under an
assumed name, anyway.”
“Oh yes, I’m perfectly satisfied,
Kennedy.. But of course I know that
a man with your experience isn’t tak-
ing a chauffeur’s position except for
some special reason. Does John Gage
know that you are in Granleigh?”
It must have been a sharp jolt for
Kennedy, but this time his face—the
gambler’s face, after all —-was abso-
lutely expressionless.
“That’s too deep for me,” he an-
swered indifferently. “If you mear
the big fellow, I don’t know what he
knows. I’ve never met him.”
“Not even that night last May
when this happened?” Cleo’s hanc
rested for a moment against the filmy
turquoise of her gown, just below her
heart.
“You've had a busy day,” he said
dryly.
“Things have a habit of coming my

feur. You're here for money, Ken-
nedy, big money. I’m afraid the
courts would call it blackmail.”
Kennedy listened, outwardly un-
moved but taking lively account of
this new situation.
“What’s your game?” he asked
bluntly.
“I'm not playing, Kennedy.” Ken-
nedy took the hint.
“My error.” He temporized astute-
ly. “But I got the idea that you want-
ed me to do something for you.”
“Perhaps you could.” She con-
sidered him thoughtfully. “There is
someone in Granleigh whose presence
is going to bring danger and unhap-
piness to some close friends of mine.
Some day there will be a scandal and
she will be forced to leave in dis-
grace. It would be better for every-
body concerned if she went away
quietly before her—past became
known.”
“You want me to get Duane’s wife
out of the way—”
He had an unpleasant way of strip-
ping facts naked and making her look
at them.
“I wish her to go away. Alone.”

hospitals and asylums and creating

the destruction of. billions of dollars

His efforts prolonged the agony for
more than two years, and I do not
believe in glorifying mad dogs and

War will never be abolished: there
is no such thing as Peace. Peace is
only a period of cheating between two
periods of fighting. The only placé we
find peace is in the cemetery and Hin-
denburg dispatched millions of them
there without a chance to say good-
bye.
Generais die in bed and Von Hin-
denburg was no exception. Any in-
dividual that put a halo over the head
of such cut-throats as Hindenburg
and Napoleon might as well put one
on the head of Machiavelli and Tor-
quemada. All these hombres were
out to alter the nature of the events,
forcing the fathers to bury their
sons, instead of the sons burying their
fathers. Scores of people wished Von

TORONTO—Fresh from the in-
; Spiration of a most successful reunion
of the Canadian Corps, held in To-
ronto in connection with this city’s
centennial celebration, the Dominion
Command of the Canadian Legion
now is planning a pilgrimage to the
battlefield of Vimy Ridge for 1936.
The pilgrimage will fit in with the
plans of the Canadian Government
for the unveiling at Vimy of a nation-
al monument now approaching com-
pletion. The Vimy memorial is the
eighth and last in Canada’s chain of
monuments on the. battlefields of
Europe. It is the most majestic of
all, its graceful “-eblumns ‘mounting
Hill 145 and domijiating the whole of
the ridge which the: Cattadian army
stormed on April 9,-1917. The seven
other memorials, from north to soutn,
are at Passchendaele, St. Julien, Vimy,
Dury Crossroads, Bourlon Wood,
urcelette and Le Quesnel.
In due courge the Legion will form
a national committee to take in hand
arrangements for the pilgrimage.

2. WHY YOU SHOULD START A CLUB
GKEET was originally designed and | season, and then the gun must
intended to give a pleasing and Vi ate ot be put away until the
informal variety of practice for field | following year. In the intervening
shooting by means of clay targets and
traps, but owing to its unforeseen and
consistent popu rity, it has gradually
developed until now it has become an
established sport in itself. Men and
women play it regularly who never
go into the field, and find it sufficient.
‘oday, there are Skeet leagues and
associations and championship shoots,
and all this must be on account of a
very definite cause. What is it that
has made Skeet so popular with all
classes and types of people? Why are
there already some six hundred clubs
in existence, with more constantly
being formed?
It is very hard to give any kind of
comprehensive answer to so large a
question in a short article. "The be
answer of all is, ‘‘Try it for yourself,
and then you will see.’ But until
you have a chance of trying your hand
at it, here are one or two points to
think over.
First, it is quite obvious that every
form of ‘sport has some special attrac-
tion of its own, and by reason of this
holds its following of ‘‘fans."" But it
is also true that many sports are
accompanied by handicaps that re-
strict hundreds of enthusiasts from
takingactive part. Golf, fori a
and polo. Football, handball, squash
etc., call for good muscular develop-
ment, and so on, down the line.
Moreover, almost every existing form
»f outdoor sport is restricted to a few
months each year. Game shooting,
for instance, is a matter of a short
months, time hangs heavily and you
get hopelessly out of practice.
Skeet is really unique in that way.
It isa year-round game. Novices with
the gun need not fear repeating their
initial mistakes ‘‘at the opening of the
season,” for they may have daily
practice, under field conditions, the
whole year long. And the old-timers
are provided with shooting practice
that is as swift (often more so) and
varied as any form of upland game
shooting, during the tedious closed
seasons.
Secondly, Skeet. is a sport for
everyone. When you come to con-
sider a list of possible members for
ta club, you need not be deterred
rom asking anyone to join by con-
siderations of age, sex, or bank
balance (plus or minus). It is a real
family game: father and mother—
or grandfather and grandmother, for
that matter—are no more excluded
from its thrills than are the youngsters,
And it is inexpensive, Little equi
ment is required, and may be bought
for less than $100.00, if necessary.
The records of the National Skeet
Shooting Association recently pub-
peniot some interesting facts. An
